I will forever hate Penn State. I can't wait for them to come to UVa next season.
RIP Joe Paterno

not really; you can say he didn't do enough which I agree whole heartedly with but to say he is responsible is absurd

I predicated that he wouldn't live more than 6 months after his firing.

Yes, really. He could have put a stop to it all by informing the police, but he was too busy worrying about his reputation.
I swear, Penn State fans live in some kind of inescapable bubble.

I read your comments. I respect and I can see where you're coming from as a man a father. I have no kids yet but if that was my kid getting fondled in the showers, I wouldn't go to Sandusky, I'd go to the man who's running the program: Joe Pa

^ Oh, if it were me… I have a son, and if I had been involved at PSU and I knew about this, I would've been the last mother !@!*#@ they tried to keep quiet. I have no loyalty when it comes to child abuse.

Id be the first cat to knock his statue, melt it down and turn it into a !@++!%! pedo bear. I understand Joe Pa put in work into that school. I just can't understand how students and alums can look at him the same way after that while $!$% went down. People gotta understand anybody can get it even if you hold a high position at ur job.
#### Joe Pa, he was a great football coach, granted, but he was a terrible human being for not alerting the proper authorities. To those using the stop snitching, "hood" mentality as a way to accuse others as hypocrites, NO, that does not pertain to child molestation. There is a reason they (child molesters) are placed in protective custody, and that is because these "hood" cats do NOT tolerate it. So be real in your snitching argument, there's no basis.

Its amazing how stuff like public humiliation and stress can rapidly deteriorate the condition of the human body.
Look at John Edwards.
That being said...I'm indifferent towards him. Everyone is capable of doing good to other people...in fact, its almost expected.
I feel no qualms about judging him for his lapse in judgement.

exactly. he didnt want his god like status or his kingdom to crumble. Old man knew if he said something that would have been it. no more king of Penn State. So he sacrificed that kid so he could live on as king... Disgusting...

Thank you for this post Hank. People now adays seem too blood hungry for me, I get the vibe that people wanted him to see the electric chair. RIP Joe, not perfect, but the world will not be the same.

Not doing enough IS being responsible. When you see a man dying on the side of the road who can be saved with medical attention, and u keep it moving without helping dude, u are RESPONSIBLE for him dying.
Paterno knew Sandusky liked young boys yet he didnt do a thing about it. He just let Sandusky operate his molestation camps as usual
Its disgusting. Penn State will never be looked at the same.
At Penn State football is the biggest thing going

It's comments like these that irk me a little bit.
The world will never be the same? Im sorry bro but yes the world will be the same.
Perhaps it will be better because Sandusky and Paterno aren't around anymore. No more innocent boys fondled in the showers at PSU.

I'm sure the kids who were subsequently raped after McQueery told Paterno what happened think the same thing.

And this is exactly why I'm indifferent and saving my RIPs....he played a hand in ruining COUNTLESS lives. I don't care about his coaching legacy. People need to wake up.

Sickening
Paterno saved COUNTLESS lives? Word? Because he granted dudes football scholarships? I guess you can say the same thing about any other D1 coach too then.
His main objective was to win football games. Anyone who thinks differently and puts Joe on some kind of pedestal is delusional. His actions clearly show he never cared about children. He cared about football and his own legacy.

Exactly. If this was the head baseball coach at PSU the same people defending him would be condemning him. Its turrible.

You won't find a single place in the world where they advocate no snitching in regards to child molestation. And i knew people would bring up the karma argument. For those that did, are you slow?
